Default Fl Pink Schapplen and Arctic Fox

I am stumped. I have been asked to tye some pink salmon tubes and require some fl pink schapplen and arctic fox. I have been around the usuall places,Lakeland,Cookshill, Foxy Tails etc. and cant find the pink schapplen and I find the foxy tail arctic not bright enough, no offence to foxy tails. With out dying my own are there any forum members out there who may be able to help.

Hareline do a pretty big selection of schlappen in various colors including this fl shrimp pink

This might be too dark Arctic fox, if so you can try Finn Raccoon as a sub

And ask for Dave Ballingall. Dave ties vivid pink salmon flies and will be more than happy to help you out.

Please be as kind to share with me any sources you turn up?
